A boot worthy of an afternoon at the North Pole doesn’t need to look like an antique mukluk, nor fit like hip-wader stuffed with possum fur. The Pow Pow UltraDry™ proves it. Cute enough you won’t step out of them the moment you arrive at work or home, and comfortable enough you’ll hike on the coldest days of the year. UltraDry™ waterproofing, 400g 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation, and a dual-density EVA footbed make these an excellent choice when the mercury bottoms out.

Durable 1.8mm waterproof suede is coupled with a tightly woven textile mesh for shedding snow and slush. A molded TPU heel counter acts as a strap stabilizer on a snowshoe binding as well as a convenient kick-off at the end of the day. A simple, low profile webbing eyelet lacing system is efficient for closure and a generous heel pull on strap accepts a gloved finger. Inside, a shearling fleece lining, 400g of Thinsulate™ Ultra insulation and Vasque’s proprietary UltraDry™ waterproof membrane shield you from winter’s elements.

Winter Peak-Bagging in the Adirondacks

The Adirondack Mountains in New York include 46 peaks with elevations above 4,000 feet. Those adventurous enough to summit 550 of the Adirondack peaks in the snow, cold, and wind between December 21st and March 21st attain "Winter 46-er" status. Jim Wallace is one of those. Find out the inspiration behind his transformation from 240 lb. pack-a-day smoking summit failure to a full-fledged Winter 46-er. "When you get to the top of the summit, and you see all the peaks around you...that is the answer. You feel, like, this is why I'm here."
